If the SEC Office doesn't want Freeze back in the SEC and Auburn says screw you and hires him anyway, that would be more than stupid unless Auburn was planning on moving to another conference, If you are an SEC school you don't want to upset or make the SEC Office mad. Just like Saban backed off hiring Freeze.
